The fact that the cover says "Dead: Part One" should be your first clue that just maybe he isn't really going to be dead, at least not in the usual interpretation of the word.
A mouthful of asbestos powder and no smoke alarm in this guy's apartment? Boy, safety regulations in China really are lax.
That would be Young Justice, not Young Avengers. Avengers are Marvel, not DC.

I guess if we could ask the Frank Miller of 25 years ago, the one who wrote Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, I would probably agree with you. That would be worthwhile. But to ask the present-day Frank Miller, the one who wrote All-Star Batman & Robin and Holy Terror? That's just ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time.
I guess I don't really understand why you would even want to ask Frank Miller his opinion about anything to do with Batman. Did you also ask Joel Schumacher? I would think you would prefer to ask writers who actually understand the character and are able to write (and think) coherent narratives about them. Miller is capable of neither of these things.
You are not alone. Mickey Rourke was just plain awful in Iron Man 2. He was absolutely the biggest problem with the movie. They should have just realized that he was stinking the film up, cut his part altogether, and beefed up the Hammer villain role to fill in the gaps. He's become completely unwatchable and is one of the main reasons I'm reserved about seeing Immortals.
I'm sorry, but the only "usage model" that's even worth considering is this one: Publisher sells the book, and the buyer does whatever they want with it -- viewing on any device or platform they feel like with absolutely no restrictions. No exceptions, no expiration dates, no fine print.
Anything else is just back to the same old DRM, restrictive bullcrap that no one had to deal with regarding paper books and no one should be forced into agreeing to regarding electronic media.
Allowing publishers to "experiment" with other models is wrong and dangerous and will ultimately harm the e-book industry as well as its users.

The fact that their "science" deviates from standard physics should tell anyone paying attention that this is utter bullshit. You don't produce something and say "this should work, assuming we can throw out a certain basic, well-understood, and experimentally verifiable tenet of physics."
This isn't intended as a criticisim, but Mat seems to be retooling for a position at Apple marketing, or this is all just tongue-in-cheek hyperbole and he's expecting the Apple fanboys to bite hard on it. I can't honestly tell from this article which it is.
Reality check: while you *could* do all of those things with iCloud, there are still a lot of people who need much more than that. Composing a document, laying out a brochure, editing a spreadsheet, touching up those photos that you took with your iDevice, transferring your files to a friend via USB, backing up data against the inevitable server outage... All of these things you will still need a computer for. Your iPhone and iPad, while certainly marvelous and world-rocking, just don't cut it. Your portable device is still just a toy -- a very powerful and handy toy, but still a toy with very fixed functionality and all of the lack of control that comes with it. It would be more correct to say that you are no longer a "power user" at all, you are just a plain "user." And that's not a good thing.

Yeah, I agree. Although I would hesitate to say that Iron Man 2 "sucked," I have absolutely no problem saying that Mickey Rourke sucked in Iron Man 2. That was just a massive mistake from the outset.
So..... you've not read Catwoman #1 either, then? It's pretty much a mirror image of this, with a lot of pages of CW showing off her rack dressed in either nothing or her usual fetish wear. And then it ends with her and Batman screwing on the floor.
Oh hell, while we're at it:

The fallout in real world terms? Well, if true, this could completely overturn the whole relationship between cause and effect, for one thing. Is that significant enough for you? In reality, this result is almost guaranteed to be in error, so there won't be much significant impact in the long run.
Agreed, Cars was awful. As far as I'm concerned, it and Cars 2 were never made, in much the same way that Star Wars Ep. 4-6 were the only Star Wars movies ever made.
I think you forgot the big one:
0. Stopped being a science fiction channel and started being a paranormal/reality/wrestling channel.
No, I don't expect anything at all from Syfy anymore, precisely because they have decided that they are not a science fiction channel at all.

Well, when you use the wrong words or incorrect grammar, that's not communication. That's miscommunication. So, no, their message was definitely not communicated flawlessly. Someone reading that might think the word "alumni" means something it doesn't and perpetuate the misusage. As long as the human race continues to use language, there will always be grammar Nazis to make sure the language does not deteriorate into nonsense.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Just a correction, since Giz seems to have laid off all the editors...
"Alumni" is the plural form of "alumnus," which properly refers to a person who graduated from a particular institution -- Auburn in this case. Auburn could never be an alumnus of Tim (since Tim is a person, not an institution), and since there's only one Auburn, it certainly could never be alumni of Tim. I think the term you were looking for is "alma mater."

"Thinner than the opposable digit of an infant?" Most babies have pretty chubby hands and fingers, so that doesn't say much. I guess you were going for a play on "thumb drive," but somehow didn't really make the point you intended. The picture shows something that looks to be a few mm thick.
Wet possum. Mystery solved.
I wonder how creationists would explain this phenomenon? Or would they just put their fingers in their ears and shout "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALA"?
